Regulation 6.12 |
| Question: |
|
Will shared ballast bags be allowed? For instance, if all our drivers are significantly below 80kg, it would make sense for us to have one ballast bag with every driver's tag on it to make up the bulk of the weight. Then each driver could have their own individual small ballast bag that would make up the rest of the weight to get them to 80kg. This way, when changing drivers, the big ballast bag could be left in the car. This would also allow for ideal placement of the ballast bag for better weight distribution.

Each driver (or passenger) requires his or her own unique ballast bag.
